Dr. Chapman was here three years ago, and this was his second visit.
He said in this short time so many changes had occurred that he "scarcely re-
cognised the place."
He thought the new low-cost and resettlement estates were a "tremendous
improvement" over the old-type blocks, and he saw much in the designs to praise.
He hoped residents would respond to the boon of these larger and
more airy quarters by keeping their environment clean.
U.S.D. STAFF'S CHILDREN TO RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS
Sixty-five children of staff members of the Urban Services Department
will be presented with the U.S.D. Schools Scholarships next week.
Mr. A.P. Richardson, Deputy Director of Urban Services and Chairman
of the U.S.D, Schools Scholarship Fund Management Committee, will hand out the
scholarships at a presentation ceremony on Monday (October 30).
The Scholarship Fund, which started with only $4,000 donated by the
department staff 10 years ago, has now accumulated to more than $60,000. The
assets of the fund have accrued mainly from raffles, variety shows, film shows
and investment.
The presentation ceremony will take place at 5.30 p.m. on Monday at
the Training Unit of the Urban Services Department on the roof of the Central
Market, Des Voeux Road, Central.
Note to Editors:
You are cordially invited to send a reporter and/or photographer to cover the ceremony.
